Far too much money, too little inspiration

Rating: 4/10 (27 September 2008)

This is a bizarre creation. A 'B' movie on the 'scientists will create clones' premise with oodles of cash and a paucity of creative talent involved.
It's not that bad - it's certainly watchable - but the end result is so far less than the sum of its parts. Apart from Ewan McGregor (who seems to have lost the desire to act), it has a great cast, it's got the production values and you could say that it has the production talent. The script, the story is the weak spot. You know exactly how the story will run as soon as Ewan and Scarlett dash off into the 'real' world because this story has been done - nearly identically and often better - hundreds of times before.
